The day after Valentine's Day, for most may be sublime, as a day achieved a measure of some success, while others gave it no light of day most likely from lacking a partner and therefore gave it the right of way so as not to upend somebody's prospects. They would make some sort of remedy to either fill the void, or most respectfully, start out afresh and find somebody special that'll be the impetus for next year's scheduled soiree. Yet there is that one element that would toss the monkeywrench into the woodwork, one that seldom heard in open conversation, and that would be, infidelity. So Valentine's Day, seems also to be in reserve for even those who do not deliver flowers with the unsigned card at the front of the door.

wonderful poem, William. The mention of infidelity on Valentine's day is unique but probably happens more than we'd like to think.

Yes, Sara, so true. I believe the trend towards an accepting society emboldens towards equality, gender, racial acceptance, etc., will open the doors towards open relationships someday curve marital unions. Aloha, William
